What
This is a fun contest to be exercised quarterly, beginning with creative women's apparel designers in the green market. Each poll will feature a specific type of sustainable designer from categories of apparel, accessories, art, interiors, buildings, gardens, and more.
Where
There are no boundaries! Each contest is global and can honor any eco designer anywhere. Just ensure the designer is an active merchant or is employed by an existing business.
When
The first design winner will be announced late August 2008. A new eco design contest will be created by mid September 2008. As the process is more streamlined, dates will become more specific.
Why
Skillful designers deserve recognition! From the beginning (1997) Chíc Eco has been about knowing who is making what in the world of environmental designs. Through imaginative collaborations, the mission continues to help influence manufacturing to become a sustainable process around the globe. Enthusiasm grows as innovations expand into the green market.

How
The requirement is to cast your vote by email with the designer's name and contact information. That means correct name spelling with at least a valid email address and/or phone number for the designer. Further details about the designer, reasoning and pictures are appreciated. Remember Nomination in the subject line.
All nominee submissions must include a reply address for potential queries and may not be duplicated. Oh yes, your elected designer can offer unisex garments. But please save the best men's creative designer for another nomination time. Only eco-creative designers suitable for women this round. And that means adult sizing.
Each nomination is reviewed and counted. A confirmation reply is emailed to the voter. If failed, the submission is disqualified and deleted. Voters may be contacted with queries later if their nomination wins.
More Detail ...
The winner will be announced by varied press release avenues from green fashion media, to editors, publishers, blog sites, etc. A custom award seal that can be posted with pride will be honored to the designer, which everyone is free to share.
Please avoid greenwashing! Nominated designers must hold valid sustainable material certificates, or verification of recycled materials, in order to win. This is particularly important for designers that work with popular and controversial bamboo. Here's a tip: reliable material certification company examples for bamboo are Oeko-Tex, Soil Association, SKAL, or KRAV.
Follow guidelines, partake and enjoy!
